SmartDartCheckout 64 in darts
How to check out 64 to PDC standard: the recommended route, correct alternatives and plan B when a dart goes astray.
Recommended route
2 darts
Why this route? The route ends on Double 8 — one of the most popular finishes, because it halves nicely after a narrow miss: hit the single instead of the double and you're left on another even number.
Correct alternatives
Every route is mathematically correct (last dart = double). Pick the one whose segments suit you best:
After the first dart at Treble 16
The recommended route on 64 starts with Treble 16. What is left decides whether the visit still works — here are all three cases.
Treble 16 lands
16 remains — finishable with one dart at Double 8.
Only 16 instead of Treble 16
48 remains — finishable with 2 darts via 16, Double 16.
The dart misses completely
64 remains — finishable with 2 darts via Treble 16, Double 8.

Can 64 be checked out with three darts?
Yes. The recommended route is Treble 16, Double 8. This page also lists correct alternatives in case other segments suit you better.
Which double should beginners aim for?
Most players set up double 16 (32 left) or tops (double 20, 40 left): both halve nicely after a narrow miss into the single bed. More important than the “perfect” double is practising the same favourite every time.
